Principles of Microeconomics
Which of the following would increase quantity supplied, increase quantity demanded, and decrease the price that consumers pay?
a. the imposition of a binding price floor
b. the removal of a binding price floor
c. the passage of a tax levied on producers
d. the repeal of a tax levied on producers
The price floor is the minimum price that can be charged for the product in the market. This is to prevent the prices from going too low and make loss to the producers and service providers. The most common price floor is the minimum wages set by the government. The labors should be paid minimum wages when their service is rendered. Similarly, the price ceiling is the maximum limit price that can be charged for a good or service in the market. This is to prevent the prices from going too high and prevent the exploitation of the consumers. The best given examples of the price ceiling include rent controls, price controls on gasoline in the 1970s and the price ceilings on water during the drought etc.
Option (d):
When the tax is removed, the producers will act by shifting the supply curve to the equilibrium level which will remove the shortage and reduce the price level to the equilibrium level and the economy will be back at the point of equilibrium. Thus, the quantity supplied will increase and the quantity demanded will increase in the economy along with the decreasing price level in the economy at the equilibrium point. So, option 'd' is correct.
Option (a):
When there is a price floor in the economy, then, the producers will get a minimum of the floor price and this will increase the revenue of the producers...
